Retail, now residential

Another commercial building converted into a private residence, of which there are many on Capitol Hill. I don’t know what this used to be, but you can always pick out these places because of the shop front windows, which I personally don't like.

It looks like a restaurant. I like the green color. There are so many empty storefronts where I live. It’s great to see these being put to good use.

Yes, it definitely says 'shop', but it is a creative use of it turning into residential units; a few around here too. V

Another building re purposed ! It isn't as attractive as some of the others. Very well captured, Helen...

I think the fences are a good idea, altho they could be jumped easily....V

It is an imposing frontage but I agree the windows would be off-putting for privacy.

Nice image, but I agree that the windows seem odd for a residential property.

They did a really nice conversion. What an elegant looking building. ~BV~
